[milcoll73]

i was hoping youd make the akron!

Fantastic work Clipper, the mottled camouflage looks superb!

My September bench is similar to August with cartoon tanks taking up my time.

Gorgeous, inspirational work, David!

Love your Star Trek minis, John!

Half a dozen AIM Defiants, 3 from 264 Sqdn and 3 from 307 (Polish) Sqdn





And something to chase those pesky Viermots - an AIM He162 and two HBM Bachem Natters

Hang in there Bob, It WILL be snowing soon and the Winter Building will begin! It got down to 49 degrees this morning here in Eureka IL.

Steve--your planes are absolutely gorgeous! I love the paint jobs, especially on the HE162

Just dropped this Bebe into the Painting showcase

Great little jets there, Steve! Definitely some point-defense for the Homeland...

And Dave, your little blue Bebe is gorgeous - sure to be a hit with a Jasta here and there...

Thanks for the continuing inspiration, lads!

All the best,
Matt

These just arrived . . . a 1/144" scale Shuttle for my 1/144" scale ISS model . . .





And for those pesky tripods, a YB-49!



And my new toy, a 3D pen for those bits that need making . . .

It looks like my gnomes have been up to some mischief again. I wonder what they have in mind this time?



This looks like a right wing with fixed landing gear.



After several hours, the gnomes have finished my version of a Wibault 283-T, a French airliner of the 1930s which made an appearance in the Tintin adventure The Broken Ear.



With a length of 55 studs (17.3 inches or 0.44 meters) and a wingspan of 76 studs (23.9 inches or 0.61 meters) it is larger than most LEGO airplanes, but it is a good size for the minifig passengers. However, displaying it will be a problem. I hope to show it at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center for their 'Air and Scare' Halloween event in October.

My Sparrow Hawks arrived today!





Prime elves were right on them . . .



Then the paint elves dived in!







Now for some trapeze elves!

Fun fact: Despite its appearance, the Wibault 28[n] predates the Junkers Ju-52 trimotor design by a couple years (while the single-engine -52 dates from 1930, the -3m didn't appear until 1932; the -280 trimotor appeared in late '30-early '31).
